I've had my info on other sites that went bust long before this. Never had an issue. Some people are deathly afraid of their own shadows. Water off a duck's back for me. Not concerned in the least. But that's me...

I think that with the company facing financial difficulties and undertaking layoffs, users may be concerned about the continuity of services and the reliability of customer support. Additionally, the potential for reduced investment in innovation could result in fewer updates and new features on the platform, ultimately affecting the user experience. Price adjustments might follow, limiting accessibility to genetic testing due to higher costs or fewer promotional offers.

New owners may not be as scrupulously bound to maintain confidentiality, to even necessarily honor the agreements that we all signed up for. Original owner did not set that bar very high to begin with.

I had personal experience with a minor breach (not the famous one) and could never get past the bots they had responding to emails to talk sense to a person. They could not walk the talk at all.
